- A Cambodian opposition activist facing rare charges of insulting the king was released on Tuesday after he issued a public apology to the monarch and long-ruling leader Hun Sen.
The pair wrote the posts after the king, Prime Minister Hun Sen and senior government officials attended a televised ceremony at the Angkor Wat temple to light the torch for the upcoming South-east Asia Games in Cambodia. But on Tuesday evening he issued a public apology to King Norodom Sihamoni and Hun Sen, asking for forgiveness for his “unintentional mistake”.
Human rights activists had previously warned enactment of the 2018 lese majeste law, which carries a sentence of between one and five years in prison, could be wielded to target dissent.
